Sana'a: The Ministry of Interior released details of confessions from a cell belonging to the enemy's Joint Intelligence Operations Room, which was recently apprehended in Operation "And Their Plot Will Fail." The confessions revealed the involvement of members of the spy network, which was affiliated with the American CIA, the Israeli Mossad, and Saudi intelligence. The network, based in Saudi Arabia, was involved in surveillance, information gathering, and the deployment of networks, which were then relayed to their handlers in the room, identified as "Abu Khalid" and "Abu Saif," two Saudi intelligence officers.
According to Yemen News Agency, the confessions also detailed the tasks assigned to the spy cells by the enemy's intelligence operations room. These tasks included recruiting and deploying spies, conducting surveillance and information gathering, and their roles in photography and reporting to their handlers in the room. This also included documenting ship movements in the ports of Ras Issa and Salif in Hodeidah Governorate, monitoring missile launch sites targeting the occupied Palestinian territories, and training on cameras and applications for espionage purposes.
The Ministry of Interior detailed the recruitment of the spy Mujahid Muhammad Ali by the mercenary Ali al-Bakali, head of the so-called "Renaissance of Yemen Movement" and advisor to the so-called Ministry of Culture for the mercenaries. Al-Bakali connected him with an officer in the Joint Operations Room in Riyadh. Mujahid recruited several individuals to work for the intelligence room, carrying out the orders of their handler to recruit individuals with means of transportation to expand surveillance and information-gathering activities.
Mujahid Muhammad Ali explained his recruitment process, mentioning how he was contacted by Ali al-Bakali, who needed him to recruit more individuals for Saudi intelligence. Mujahid received financial support from Saudi officers to purchase equipment and recruit more people, highlighting the systematic approach taken by the intelligence network.
Ali Ali Ahmed, another recruited spy, shared his experience, detailing how he was trained in writing reports and maintaining communication with Saudi handlers. He mentioned the rigorous training process, which included learning how to photograph and document locations of interest, and how Saudi officers supervised the entire operation.
Espionage training was an essential part of the operations, with cell members undergoing extensive training in surveillance, report writing, and using applications to gather intelligence. Spy Ali Ali Hamoud recounted his visits to Riyadh for training, where he learned to install surveillance equipment and transmit information directly to the intelligence room.
Ali Ahmed described the missions assigned to him, which involved photographing and collecting satellite imagery of key locations, writing detailed reports, and transmitting them to the Saudi officers. The spies were tasked with monitoring commercial and oil tankers, identifying and photographing civilian and military buildings, and capturing network data.
The operations extended to monitoring missile launch sites and newly established camps. Mujahid Muhammad Ali was instructed to search for military leaders, buildings, camps, drones, hypersonic glide vehicles, and missile launch sites, showcasing the extensive reach and objectives of the intelligence network.
